In August This Year, China'S First Child Furniture Regulations Will Be Implemented To Protect Children'S Healthy Growth.

Recently, the National Standardization Management Committee issued the first general technical conditions for children's furniture. The standard increased the detection requirements of antimony, barium, selenium and other "portable elements", and for the first time, it strictly restricted the formaldehyde and heavy metal contents of children's furniture.

The standard will be implemented in August 1st this year.

Children's furniture is a special subdivision in the furniture market, but for a long time,

Furniture is standard for adult furniture.

This has led to frequent problems in furniture safety and environmental protection for children.

However, this situation will be changed.

Recently, the National Standardization Management Committee issued the first general technical conditions for children's furniture.

This standard has increased the detection requirements of antimony, barium, selenium and other "portable elements". For the first time, the formaldehyde and heavy metal contents of children's furniture were strictly restricted.

The standard will be implemented in August 1st this year.

Insiders said that the new standard is bound to furniture.

Higher requirements are put forward in terms of technology, equipment and so on. Some small businesses that have relied on price to win are facing elimination.

Adding "portable elements" detection

It is understood that this standard applies to furniture products designed or intended for children aged 3 to 14 years old.

It is a mandatory national standard. Once approved and implemented, the quality of children's furniture produced or sold in the country (including imports) must be carried out and meet the requirements of this standard.

The "condition" is divided into nine parts, focusing on children's furniture structure safety and safety warning signs make clear requirements.

In the "architecture safety" requirement, products should not be dangerous sharp edges and sharp points, edges and corners should be treated by chamfering or chamfering.

In recent years, with the improvement of people's living conditions, more and more children have their own independent rooms, so children's furniture is booming rapidly.

But at the same time, the environmental problems of children's furniture are also constantly appearing, mainly manifested as formaldehyde and heavy metals.

In response, Dong Jinshi, a special expert of the national environmental protection product quality supervision and inspection center, said: "this standard highlights the environmental protection of children's furniture, such as heavy metal indicators, and indicators of children's toys are similar, especially for the regulation of free formaldehyde is more stringent."

For example, in addition to routine detection of four toxic substances such as lead, mercury, chromium and cadmium, the children's furniture also requires the detection of mobile elements such as antimony, barium, selenium and arsenic.

Environmental threshold or elimination of small businesses

Insiders said that the introduction of the new standard will enhance the entry threshold for children's furniture manufacturing, and a group of children's furniture enterprises with weak strength will gradually be eliminated and the market will be standardized.

At the same time, the new standard strengthens the environmental protection and practicality of children's furniture making materials, which makes the production cost higher and the price in the short term may be improved.

But with the implementation of the new standard, children's furniture will gradually become standardized, standardized and mass production, and the price will return to stable.

Dongguan's enterprises have begun to adjust to the arrival of the new standard.

Long manager of marketing department of a furniture enterprise in Daling mountain said that the factory has begun to upgrade its plant environment and technology in accordance with the new standards, and also meticulous management in the procurement and control of raw materials.

"Enterprises with certain export scale in the industry can basically meet the standards in terms of safety and environmental protection indicators."

Long manager said that Dongguan's children's furniture enterprises are also engaged in foreign trade processing while doing domestic sales, so they have the leading edge in terms of product safety and environmental protection performance.
